Voice Of AmericaItem: Voice Of America
Voice Of America is a broadcasting service funded by the U.S. Government. VOA (Voice Of America) broadcasts news, information and cultural programming to a worldwide audience of millions of people. The services include news about many different regions in the world: USA, Africa, Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
The news is categorized in several different ways: area in the world, topic or media type. They offer live news streams, videos and also interactive services: chat, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. I think the web site design is simple and not too fancy. This is good, in my opinion, because I am just interested in reading the news. I appreciate the fact that the web site doesn’t contain advertisements. Some other new sites are way overblown with ads! I love the fact that the news doesn’t cover only US news, but also other parts of the World. I also think that because the service is government supported, there is less bias because of financial interests. However, I am a little skeptical about political bias. I don’t believe that objective reporting exists. Journalists and reporters are human beings like you and me. They have opinions, feelings and believes. They cannot give 100% objective news coverage, because no human being is 100% objective. However, I hope VOA’s news is more objective than other news networks. Why not take a look for yourself?
